Hi, here is the corresponding PR: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23786 Follow the link to the ML to get my preliminary image loading code. It may be useful to write the start of a full ImageMagick based plugin. However fitzsim said that ImageMagick provide to few features for a real ImageIO plugin. I think this means that access to meta-information is impossible. Still simple image loading should be doable ... cya Robert Juerg Lehni wrote: > Hi Sven, > > Thank you for the update on the status quo of both Java2D and ImageIO. > And great to hear that work is currently done for this. > > I wonder about ImageIO through ImageMagick though.
